HRV (Heating Recovery Ventilator) Cleaning

If you don't know what that is, keep reading!

An “HRV” or Heat Recovery Ventilator is a feature of your heating system that helps to better capture energy from exhaust air from your furnace and transfer it to the fresh air coming in from outside.

It has two separate air handling systems:

  • One collects and exhausts stale indoor air
  • Another draws in outdoor air and distributes it through the home

HRV’s are often located high on the wall above your furnace and resemble a cold air return grille. 

Since an HRV is part of the HVAC system, we must clean them to guarantee the whole system has been cleaned. We clean the unit itself by removing and cleaning the heat exchange core and fans.

Your HRV will have 2 filters, one on each side, and they should be vacuumed, washed & dried at least every 2 months. Consult your HRV’s owner’s manual for more on how The Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) maintains air quality in your home.

What Our Customers Have To Say

This company knows their stuff, provides great customer service and excellent work. I’m totally happy with how the two very friendly annd knowledgeable associates cleaned my furnace, vents, dryer vent and AC coil. I will certainly book my next appointment with them.

- Mark

The technicians were efficient and very friendly. They explained what they how and what they were doing. The only thing was there was some sort of residue left on the concrete from their truck all the way to our front door that was not there before they arrived. (Dark stains on our driveway, walkway and front steps leading into the house).

- Maureen Miyagishima

I had an excellent experience with Alberta Furnace Cleaning. They promptly arrived on the first working day of the year, despite the cold weather. Their team provided detailed explanations regarding the service performed and offered helpful tips for maintaining my units. I am confident that I will book with them again in the next few years.

- Ramir L

The men who did the work were extremely friendly and professional. They were sure to introduce themselves to each of us properly. They explained everything they were doing and even showed us before and after pictures. They were very respectful of our home and used boots covers each time even when going back and forth from outside to in. They cleaned and wiped up their work areas before they left, which was very appreciated. We would hire them again, without hesitation.

- Melanie Collins

Alberta Furnace crews are professional and thorough from appointment to home service. I had my furnace serviced by someone else before and I can say that Alberta Furnace is far better. They protect the corners, walls and floors of the house and leave no marks behind. Their equipments are state-of-the-art. The best in what they do! Price is fair as well.

- Antonio Jr Reyes

A big shout out to Andrew and Aaron from Alberta Furnace Cleaning. My husband and I had recently renovated our home and were noticing a fine dust on everything that I couldn’t keep up with. Andrew and Aaron came in and cleaned the furnace, air conditioning unit and all the duct work. It was shocking to see what the found - construction debris, dog toys, tennis balls etc. They definitely have the equipment to thoroughly clean the mechanical and duct work. Both workers used care in removing vent covers, and cleaned all surfaces, properly replacing the grills when done. They were on time, efficient, polite and respectful of ourselves and our home. I could not be happier.
